In the realms of fantasy, the battlefield is where heroism comes alive, magic is unleashed, and legends are made. From Tolkien's epic War of the Ring to George R. R. Martin's Battle of the Blackwater, these fantastical conflicts reflect our highest hopes and darkest fears. Now acclaimed editor John Joseph Adams is sounding the battle cry and sixteen of today's top authors are reporting for duty, spinning never-before-published, spellbinding tales of military fantasy, including a Black Company story from Glen Cook, a Paksenarrion story from Elizabeth Moon, and a Shadow Ops story by Myke Cole. Operation Arcana is a must for any military buff or fantasy fan.
